Antiwork

So this is basically just me venting to the sub because I feel like most people in my life don't really understand. To start off, I know I'm in a relatively good position, as I live in a country with mostly free healthcare and better accomodations for disabled people than most. Still sucks, though. I was a ~'gIfTeD cHiLd'~ and have a better education than anyone in my family, but we were fucking poor and disfunctional and could never afford stuff like tutoring, extracurriculars or even goddamn school lunches. I dropped out of Uni because I kept having panic attacks because of the money problems. Every time I started building something for myself I ended up in the mental hospital and then back at square one. It got so far that some pencil pusher from the government decided 'MJ can't work 4 hours a day, so…fuck them I guess' and…

The short version: I was hired in July making $15, spontaneously raised to $16 three months later, then found out in November that my team was hiring three new employees at $17 an hour for the same role with no experience. After a phenomenal performance review, I was told to expect fifteen cents extra, but my “exceptional effort” garnered me a whole thirty cent raise. This rant's a long one, y'all. It’s been two and half months of making $16.30while constantly fixing my new coworkers’ mistakes. I’m talking HUGE mistakes: white label breaches, sending the wrong information to clients, deliberately not notating mistakes to cover them up, copying and pasting account details from four months prior that had already been done, etc. We have clients calling in angry all the time. We gave them detailed instructions for every task we do at work, I…

I've had two companies I applied to today (capital- customer service representative position & walmart- front end associate position) ask me if my parents have been on food stamps in the past 10 years. What's up with this and what does my parents income have to do with a job application? Personally, I think this should be illegal as it's really none of their business. I'm just tired and beaten down by this society and this environment.

I have learned so much from this sub, however it now all I see is reminders of this cruel capitalist world we live in and it has made me feel extremely miserable. It was still very informative nonetheless. Bye everyone

get a fucking job
